Thank you so much for all your videos! I have a Music exam next week and I have been using your videos for pretty much every composer I need to know. Brilliant resources!
Although both Satie and Villa-Lobos used the "paper in the strings" technique, that's not really what I considered "prepared piano" for the purposes of this video. To my knowledge, neither Satie nor Villa-Lobos went beyond the scope of paper, as Cage did, and they never referred to it as a "prepared piano," as Cage did. It's like crediting Henry Cowell with the tone cluster; it's not _technically_ true when it comes to predecessors like Ives and Ornstein, but he used them consistently, created their modern notation, and coined the term, and is thus generally credited. "Prepared piano" as a whole is, in and of itself, a more complicated topic with predecessors and nuances galore, and beyond the scope of a relatively foreshortened biography. An eventual video on the prepared piano would definitely cover those nuances, as you mentioned.
Why didn't you use 4'33" as a background music? If it wasn't long enough, you surely could loop it... 😀
Or perhaps 4'33" is secret background music on _every_ video ...
Classical Nerd Daaang i didn't even notice...
As long as it's mixed properly...
Possibly due copyright infringment. We have to wait another 60 years until its public domain...
I don't know why John Cage never thought of looping 4'33", that seems like the type of thing he would do

love it!!
Cage was a genius. The end.
I hope to redo this video sometime in the near-ish future-these early episodes lack a _lot._
Thank you for this! Though it was in fact Satie himself and Villa Lobos who created the prepared piano.

wow, I got chills watching this
I have an exam about Cage and company... I would prefer an examen about Queen or Iron Maiden...

Demetrio Stratos has collaborate with Cage. Stratos push his voice to the limit.
